Hello from Allentown, PA

The Answers in Genesis board meeting is now history. Emphasis this meeting was vision casting with reports from all the departments of ministry.  The first morning Ken introduced to the board and staff the theme for the next two years and I am really excited about it.  Our emphasis will be on the ministry to and for children.  We will hear much more from AiG on the “rescuing” of children. 

AiG has been under attack (along with all of us who teach creationism) that we are abusing children!

Here is a pic of Ken and myself and a 25th year anniversary reprint of
his book the Lie, which really shows the heart of the message of AiG.

The new book, “Genius of Ancient Man” was displayed three different places in the museum bookstore.  It was thrilling to see the response from the board, staff and the folks who attended the special evening Bible study set up by the Hanson family in South Carolina!  It was one of the top sellers on the web site too!

The Genius of Ancient Man on sale in the Creation Museum bookstore.

Thanks again to the Hanson family for the opportunity to speak and for all their work in setting up a wonderful evening with a great meal and fellowship.

A new display outside the museum shows the size of a one-story bay of the Ark.  It gives some insight into the incredible amount of space Noah had to use.  Included below is a picture of the board in front of the bay.  It is one story while he had three floors and he had the equivalent of hundreds of these spaces.

We had a really thrilling opportunity to have lunch with and to meet Dr. Damadian while at the AiG offices.  Dr. Damadian invented the MRI machine and is a devout believer and young earth creationist.  We sat in just on an evening session where he told his story of the invention of MRI!  What a remarkable story, this medical tool has benefited thousands and thousands of people.

Beverly will be meeting with friends at her 50^th High School reunion this weekend.  She is really looking forward to this time.

I speak twice on Sunday, in the morning to the youth group at Cedar Crest Bible Fellowship church in Allentown and in the evening at the church where Lance Eiesle has become the new pastor. 

Yesterday was my birthday and today is Beverly’s birthday!  What a delight in receiving all the greetings of happy birthday from so many friends.

News from home is that the JHBC trip to Mt. St. Helens was a safe and successful trip.  This week Dr. Dave Janssen is teaching on Old Testament Prophets.

Last Sunday Dr. Don Saylak spoke at CBC for the morning service and this coming Sunday Scott Austin is giving the message.

So far over 3500 miles on the trip, thanks for your prayers.

Pastor Don
